New Delhi: Mohammad Nazim has been in a number of shows, but his role as Ahem Ji in ‘Saath Nibhaana Saathiya’ became famous because of his chemistry with Gopi. Actresses Giaa Manek and Devoleena Bhattacharjee played Gopi Bahu opposite Mohammad. Actor Nazim recently talked about how the show's scenes are now popular and become meme material. Another clip from the show has gone viral, adding to the numerous meme-worthy moments that the daily soap has. In a scene that is now going viral, Ahem Ji can be heard singing the melody "La La La".
Talking to IANS, Nazim said, “The video features Gopi opening a rice bowl, humming ‘Lalala’, and alluding to a 7.5 crore question. Discussing what he witnessed feels uneasy. I express my positive reaction with ’la la la’, but I'm cautious due to my sister, sister-in-law, and fans reading my content. Despite the video's silliness, its 40 million views are remarkable. This happened circa 2011-2012 before Gopi was replaced, highlighting an era when love concepts were subtly portrayed in the film industry. Amid a crew of a hundred people, we exchanged jokes and found comfort during scene shoots.”
The actor went on to discuss the impact that memes like this have had on his career. He said, “Intermittent popularity exists but lacks consistent prominence, despite its scale and absence of overwhelming significance. Social media plays a crucial role. My recent show, ‘Tera Mera Sath Rahe,’ garnered praise with a noteworthy 0.8 TRP for its premiere -- an anomaly considering recent Star Bharat shows typically start around 0.4 or 0.5 in opening TRP.”
The actor talks about how people remember him from his role as Ahem and even go so far as to assume he is really that character in real life. He said, “People often inquire, "Ahem ji, didn't you go to the office?" This question is a common occurrence, even on Sundays. Many individuals prod me unnecessarily, seeking a response. What should be my sweet and polite reply to these inquiries?”
Mohammad Nazim also said that it doesn't bother him when people troll.
